Microbially induced nitrogen (N2) gas bubbles can desaturate subsurface areas and thus have been considered as an alternative ground improvement technique for mitigating soil liquefaction potential caused by earthquakes. However, the detailed mechanisms of subsurface N2 bubbles are not well understo...
